India to invest ₹2,000 crore in MSME tech upgrades
The Indian government is planning to spend ₹2,000 crore to help small and medium-sized businesses (MSMEs) upgrade their technology.
This is to make these businesses more efficient and help them sell more products to other countries.
The new technology will also help reduce pollution from these businesses.
Right now, many small businesses find it hard to afford and maintain equipment that controls pollution.
An expert from the Centre for Science and Environment says that using technology to control pollution is a better approach than using expensive equipment.
India plans to invest ₹2,000 crore in technology upgrades for MSMEs.
The goal is to enhance exports and efficiency in small-scale industries.
Technology-based emission control is a key focus area.
Current emission control equipment is expensive and difficult to maintain for small businesses.
Experts suggest that technology-based solutions are more effective for controlling emissions.
